Immerse yourself in the charm of African artistry with our Dark Blue Hippo Soapstone, a delightful representation of nature's gentle giant, crafted with care by the artisans of the Tabaka cooperative in Kenya. This group of talented women artisans is part of a fair trade initiative aimed at alleviating poverty in the Kisii region, a mission Mr. Ellie Pooh is passionate about by ensuring these craftsmen receive fair compensation and access to global markets. Each piece, standing at about 2 to 3 inches tall and stretching 3 to 4 inches from nose to tail, is unique, ensuring that no two hippos are exactly alike. Our collection offers a wide array of colors and styles, inviting you to discover the perfect match for your aesthetic or to gift someone special who loves unique, globally conscious art.
